Gone Sailin'

Back in awhile, with plenty of stories to tell. I leave you with Jan Eerala:


S/Y Bris - 30/5/2012 - gets her mast from Jan Eerala on Vimeo.



With Bris - 10/6/2012 - to Sappi Island from Jan Eerala on Vimeo.


"Motoring with old working skiff Bris to Sappi lighthouse island on a sunny, but later foggy sunday - 10/6/2012 - Coming back with sails; this was first time I did sail her. Have to trim some things still in the rig. In Sappi the highland cattle made a visit to the harbor and a White-tailed Sea Eagle tried to catch the growths of Common Eider. Life as always."

Makholma Bay

Snow on new ice insulates and prevents it from freezing.

When my heart is troubled, I yearn for the contemplative videos of Jan Eerala, Makholma Finland.

Today was such a day.

End of Sailing Season

The sailing season is short in Makholma, Finland. Jan Eerala has already pulled Stina from the water. His old boat has had a sprung plank all summer and will likely spend next summer under repair.
Fortunately Jan still has his beautiful old S/Y Bris for his excursions to the Rayhat Reef.

As always, I encourage you to spend some time on Vimeo with Jan. He is a Master.
